Eco-Masonry

Eco-masonry products include in their formulation reactive magnesia and wastes
and are more “environmentally friendly” than Portland Cement masonry
products.

Bricks blocks and pavers made utilising TecEco technology:

Are more environmentally friendly with low embodied energies and less emissions.

Eco-Cements set by absorbing CO2

Tec-Cements require less cement for the same strength.

Both Tec and Eco-Cement can contain more wastes as raw materials than
any competing technology.

Are corrosion resistant to the chemical agents that attack Portland cement.

Have high thermal mass / low embodied energy/ insulating (depending on
aggregate) properties and are favoured for energy conserving buildings

Recyclable (Eco-Cements). Fire Retardant (Eco-Cements).

Low pH (Tec and Eco-Cements)

TecEco bricks, blocks, pavers and mortars are the foundation of a sustainable
built environment in the future.

More Information

More information on the Eco-Masonry technology can be found in our technical section under TecEco Cements, documentation
section and under Tec-Cement and Eco-Cement in our Definitions section. Further information in relation to sustainability can be found under that section in our main menu.

Availability

TecEco will be supplying Victoria from Tasmania initially and elsewhere Tec
and Eco-Cement masonry units manufactured to Australian standards are available
by special order through most block makers. For larger orders please contact
TecEco. For samples, small orders, or research supplies please go to Purchasing
TecEco Products.

The Difference Between Tec and Eco-Cements

Tec-Cements contain much less magnesia (caustic calcined magnesia or CCM) than
Eco-Cements and are more environmentally friendly mainly because less cement
is generally required for the same result. Eco-Cements are more environmentally
friendly because they set by absorbing CO2 out of the air. (See Eco-Cements)
